Holy crap these awesome Zs are coming out of the woodwork!!! Nice car! I've always liked that color combo. Mario

Hit "Print Screen" on your keyboard, then paste it into Paint or Photoshop and save it. Mario

I thought so too. Hard on 3 is like expert on 2. Mario

I have beaten GHIII on Hard except for the Devil Down in Georgia. I almost had that one down, and then my roommate broke my finger and I haven't been able to play hard since... I can do medium left handed now though Mario PS I need one more set in GHII to beat it in expert...

I'm using Moby's with only like a deg or 2 pulled under full boost so I can run crappy 87 octane since I'm broke right now... Mario

Congrats!!! Mario

USDM turbo AUTO engine blocks come stock with an engine oil cooler adapter... Mario

I think the order of the spark plug wires is reverse. When you do this, the engine runs but very very rough. Remember, it's too young (15), too old (36), just right (24). 1-5-3-6-2-4 Going counter clockwise starting with the one closest to the radiator. Mario

I've heard of water pump blades eroding away, or the cheapo sheet metal ones breaking. Maybe your water pump isn't pumping at all? Mario

The fittings are Metric, you can get an adapter to a standard thread. They are kinda pricey but well worth it. In your case, you'd need two sets of adapters, for each side. On the cooler block adapter, you need 2 o-rings. The large one you should be able to find in inches pretty easily. I think it's really close to 2.5in. The inner one is a small enough metric size that you should be able to find at a hardware store. Mario

In my ZXT, I cut the original u-bend so that it would point straight forward. I then used ABS piping (the black stuff) and Home Depot couplers and ran 12psi no prob with the setup. I had to rough up the ends that were attached to the couplers because I would pop them off every once in a while... I'm thinking of using reinforced silicone tubing and aluminum/steel mandrel bends for my next setup. Kind of the opposite of what people normally run. Mario

I used to... Till my roommate broke my finger and I couldn't stop as my brakes are crappy enough already and I can't exert much force with the broken finger... But I should be back on it soon. It's an old 70s Nishiki I got for $30 from Goodwill. A little WD-40, some chain lube, and it works great! It sure beats my 30min walk to class =( Mario

I've always had issues on new installs that if the map isn't right, and you flood the plugs, it's best to start with new plugs. On debugging starts, I always floor it and slowly bring the accelerator back to get it to inject fuel so as to not flood the PLUGS. Mario

Nice! I've thought about doing the same, but I've always wondered if these gauges could be that useful. I think for it to be fully useful, you'd need to have memory warning gauges that would shine a different color when something is wrong. I just think these are too out of the way to allow for a quick glance to know if somethings up. Let me know how it is with it actually in your car! I might still do something similar... Mario

You seem like a pretty smart guy. Have you ever taken a physics class? It's gonna be an awfully pretty intake restriction you have there... Mario

I have a datalog to 6550 rpm in 4th. With my tranny, tires, and rear ratio, that puts me at 130mph. Mario

On my old ZX I put a universal inline one in the engine bay and used a shortened universal choke cable to attach it to the original heater controls. Mario

Wow... Hahahaha. And I thought what they changed my Christina Augilera's dirty pillow post to was funny... Mario

The EFI relay is basically 2 relays in one. Well, maybe three. It provides power to the ECU, the injectors, and I believe, the Fuel Pump. You should be able to probe the connector on the relay to see if it has 12v with the car in the "ON" position. The pin/connector to check should be on the wiring diagram I posted in your other post. If it is bad, and you can't find an EFI relay, you can cut off the connector and get 2 relays at a parts store, and their connectors (I think Autozone sells nice relay connectors) and swap it out for 2 common ones. I think it's probably bad as the power source wire for the injectors is kind of big and out of the way, so I think it'd be a little difficult to damage enough for it to stop the injectors from firing. Mario

There was a "making of" Rendevouz released, and Lelouch shows the camera setup on a Mercedes like what was supposedly used to make the movie. RALLY! WRC's craziest moments 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: Semi-car related: Mario

It's probably easier to run fuel and spark then just fuel on a ZXT. If you follow the sticky, it's only like 5 or 6 connections to create the input and output ignition circuit. And I think 2 are 12v and 2 ground. It is way too simple to pass up in my opinion... Mario

A local place charges $100-$150 a wheel to fix them. This is in AZ, I bet there's places in Cali that are cheaper... Mario

Authentic or new remakes? Mario
